Join Us in Celebrating World Water Day!

World Water Day is a Program of United Nations, celebrated every year on 22 March, aiming to focus the attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.  Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of water, and the theme chosen by the UN for this year is “Water for Peace”.

Water can create peace or spark conflict. When water is scarce or polluted, or when people are unequal, or have no access, tensions can rise between communities and countries.

More than 3 billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet only 24 countries have cooperation agreements for all their shared water.

As climate change impacts increase, and populations grow, there is an urgent need, within and between countries, to unite around protecting and conserving our most precious resource.

Public health and prosperity, food and energy systems, economic productivity and environmental integrity all rely on a well-functioning and equitably managed water cycle.

As traditionally on World Water Day, SHUKALB supports the water utilities across Albania in organizing public awareness and outreach events in their cities. Even this year, SHUKALB has prepared digital awareness campaign and traditional awareness campaign including leaflets with awareness messages, T-shirts, Tote bags, and pins with WWD logo and the logo of the water utility.

All the water utilities that would like to organize awareness and outreach events on the WWD are welcome to contact SHUKALB through the e-mail address program@shukalb.al.

And don’t forget to send to us pictures from your event.  We will be sharing these pictures together with a short description of your event on our social media networks, and on the next BURIMI e-newsletter.  Let’s get ready to celebrate together!
